I love Nicki Minaj. Love, love, love her--I no longer remember my life before "Pink Friday." But last night, I had a stiff neck from shaking my head at her Grammys appearance. Lady Gaga can show up with gladiator escorts or edible accessories--I don't bat an eye.

But when I saw Nicki stomping the red carpet with an actor dressed as a vicar (can you even imagine what was going through that guy's head?), all I could think was: No! You don't need this! It doesn't have to be this way!

PS--Also: when you've just bishoped your way through a step-and-repeat, do you stay in character while talking to Taylor Swift? Or are you like, "Tay-tay! Can't wait to hear you sing 'Mean!' Here, I snuck in some Mike and Ikes and Goobers in my cape!" (In which case I'd take back my complaints--no one can argue with a functional garment like that.)

What did you guys think of Nicki's appearance? Anybody out there love the bishop? Or are you longing for the days of bubblegum wigs like I am?
